Kunane Posted October 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Anyone have details on this activity? Does it take you to the turtle farm at Boatswain Beach? The carnival website does not tell much. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted October 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Go to the ports of call page and you should find more info. We went some years ago and did not seem to be much there or a real reason to go but understand they have since moved and might be more worthwhile to go now.

firefly333 Posted October 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Captains Marvins includes the turtle farm on their $30 pp tour ... plus hell and some other points of interest. You can eat turtle in the shop and hold a baby turtle. Google the turtle farm in the Caymans and it has its own site. About $20 pp to get in on your own plus transportation I believe.

Chris64 Posted October 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2009 We went a couple of years ago, and even though I probably wouldn't do it again, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kunane Posted October 22, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I am reading up on Grand Caymen and Carnival Website regarding the excursion is vague as to specifics as to where you go. I found this place http://www.boatswainsbeach.ky/index.cfm Looks huge! I was curious if this place is the turtle farm Carnival takes you to. If not I may just do a different excursion and take a side trip here afterward. Has anyone been here and does it look as nice as they portray it on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazingjess Posted October 22, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2009 We did our own excursion back in 2007 - we hopped on the local "bus" (suburban) and paid $5US for the both of us one way. It dropped us right off at Boatswains Beach. When we went in, we were almost the only ones there since we beat all the tours off the ship. We were able to hold baby turtles, pet them, take pics, etc. It was really neat! We then got on the local bus again and it took us to Hell. We did the typical sending a postcard to our parents, saw the stone formations, etc. Hopped on the bus again and it took us back downtown. Our total transport cost was $15, plus whatever the cost of the turtle farm was. It was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
